1. A method of estimating the lateral location of a wireless terminal, the method comprising:

  • receiving, at a data processing system, the identity of a radio signal that is received by a wireless terminal;

    receiving, at the data processing system, a measurement of atmospheric pressure at the wireless terminal;

    designating at least one of a plurality of possible lateral locations of the wireless terminal as improbable based on;

    (i) the measurement of atmospheric pressure at the wireless terminal; and

    estimating the lateral location of the wireless terminal to be one of the plurality of possible lateral locations of the wireless terminal not designated as improbable based on;

    (i) the identity of the radio signal.
